When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you. https://t.co/uKppoDbduj

I’m asking in good faith for similar examples. This is an ex-CIA chief essentially calling the POTUS an enemy of the United States. That’s insanely strong stuff in that quote. I’m curious of the exact examples that you find similar in precedent. It’s one thing to “call out” a president…quite another for someone that high level to accuse a president of “venality” and “moral turpitude,” and accuse them of trying to destroy America.

I guess you’re talking about when McChrystal referred to Obama as “disappointing” and “disengaged”? That’s what you find similar in precedent to a four star general and ex-CIA chief accusing Trump of being a morally depraved threat to national security? Please get serious.

Yes, of course. But most of Trump’s “lies” are of the same earth shaking importance as Obama’s claim to have visited “all 57 states”. Can’t recall when he has lied to Congress. Can’t recall when he has lied under oath. Can’t recall when he has lied about national security. Brennan, on the other hand, is a corrupt political hack.

I’m baffled that you consider that relatively tame criticism as equivalent to four star generals accusing the POTUS of being a threat to national security and a puppet of hostile regimes, and an ex-CIA chief calling the POTUS morally depraved and accusing him of wishing to destroy America.

It wouldn’t hurt to take down a few CIA chiefs with indictments. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before Trump is busted, also, and probably his sons, too. They seem untouchable now (the moral bar is set so low for Trump, that he can have multiple affairs with porn stars, lie about it, and almost no one cares), but lies and crimes almost always catch up to a person. This was the great flaw in Machiavelli’s theory about appearance of virtue vs possession of actual virtue: even his own great example of a prince, Cesare Borgia, was murdered for his crimes. (As an aside, there are of course the theories that Machiavelli was aware of this problem with his theory, and that he advanced the idea of pursuing mere appearance of virtue in an ironic sense).

Countless FELONIES and the lies that go with them haven’t caught up to Bill and Hillary yet.
